I meant to say bulb not ballast. And yea i have read all the step by step processes but it just seems sorta jimmy rigged and i wanted something more conrete than that. Im more interested in just passing inspection so i think i will just go with the halogen over hid but i appreciate your help jcprix!

Where are you in NH? I will be visiting Meredith next month...

[Gearhed42]

I am in southern NH. Meredith is about an hour from here. Your the HID guru, whats your take on the 9007/2?

Jimmy rigged? how politically correct. Those are a work of art! But I agree, it's not pretty, not for someone to do if they have never done that type of work before, in particular going for tilt ..it was brute force and on the fly. The bulb Alignment is critical ... at least give that a whirl. Now you know what you are getting ... or not.

9007-2 (HID low, halogen high): As long as the HID arc is in the EXACT correct position, you'll have excellent low beams. The high halogen bulb will NEVER produce usable light for high beam usage. Ever. The only reason for it's existence is for passing inspection, not light. Before ordering your 9007-2 kit, see if the seller will send you the measurements of the HID arc discharge point in reference to the mounting flange on the base. If their answer is NOT 1.75", prepare to modify something, or move on to another HID peddler. There are LOTS of them, so don't fear that you cannot find another...

Yea inspection is really all i am worried about. And modifying the teles just seems like a pita.....

lots of good info. i have "gx" HID headlights on my 02' gp. what i came to find out, is your DRL's need to be disabled. when you start your vehicle, the HID is pulling a larger draw than the car is putting out. causing intermittent either side lamps to not come on or shut off at random.

ALWAYS disable the DRL feature when using aftermarket HID kits.

i pulled the fuse for thr DRL. but this morning, the night time light sensor was trying to turn on b/c it was a little dark. and from under my driver side down near the pedals, was a continuous clicking. i put the fuse back in. clicking stopped. what should i do to take out night sense and DRL without messing anything up??
